There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm wondering what kind of headers are you parsing. Can you, please, implement a test w/ one or more examples of headers that go beyond 256 bytes?

I don't know what the original motivation was for reducing the buffer size and I'm open to other strategies, but it seems that the changes that set the smaller buffer and did away with the multi reader have made it so that any header with total length >256 will fail to parse. Any content byte length up to the maximum representable with a 16 bit integer should be valid and should parse.
